Kitty är en snabb, funktionell, GPU-baserad terminalemulator.
- Funktioner
Avlastar rendering till GPU:n för lägre systembelastning - Stöder alla moderna terminalfunktioner: grafik (bilder), unicode, true-color, OpenType-ligaturer, musprotokoll, fokusspårning, klistra med parentes och flera nya terminalprotokolltillägg
- Stöder plattsättning av flera terminalfönster sida vid sida i olika layouter utan att behöva använda ett extra program som tmux
- Kan styras från skript eller skalprompten, även över SSH
- Stöder startsessioner som låter dig specificera fönster/fliklayout, arbetskataloger och program som ska köras vid start
- Cross-platform: kitty fungerar på Linux och macOS, men eftersom den bara använder OpenGL för rendering borde det vara trivialt att porta till andra Unix-liknande plattformar
- Låter dig öppna rullningsbufferten i ett separat fönster med hjälp av godtyckliga program som du väljer. Detta är användbart för att bekvämt bläddra i historiken i en personsökare eller redigerare
- Har flera kopiera/klistra in buffertar, som vim
What’s new in version 0.36.0
- Support OpenType Variable fonts (#3711)
- A new choose-fonts kitten that provides a UI with font previews to ease selection of fonts. Also has support for font features and variable fonts
- Allow animating the blinking of the cursor. See cursor_blink_interval for how to configure it
- Add NERD fonts builtin so that users don’t have to install them to use NERD symbols in kitty. The builtin font is used only if the symbols are not available in some system font
- launch command: A new launch –bias option to adjust the size of newly created windows declaratively (#7634)
- A new option second_transparent_bg to make a second background color semi-transparent via background_opacity. Useful for things like cursor line highlight in editors (#7646)
- A new notify kitten to show desktop notifications from the command line with support for icons, buttons and more.
- Desktop notifications protocol: Add support for icons, buttons, closing of notifications, expiry of notifications, updating of notifications and querying if the terminal emulator supports the protocol (#7657, #7658, #7659)
- A new option filter_notification to filter out or perform arbitrary actions on desktop notifications based on sophisticated criteria (#7670)
- A new protocol to allow terminal applications to change colors in the terminal more robustly than with the legacy XTerm protocol (Setting and querying colors)
- Sessions: A new command focus_matching_window to shift focus to a specific window, useful when creating complex layouts with splits (#7635)
- Speed up loading of large background images by caching the decoded image data. Also allow using images in JPEG/WEBP/TIFF/GIF/BMP formats in addition to PNG
- Wayland: Allow fractional scales less than one (#7549)
- Wayland: Fix specifying the output name for the panel kitten not working (#7573)
- icat kitten: Add an option kitty +kitten icat –no-trailing-newline to leave the cursor to the right of the image (#7574)
- Speed up kitty –version and kitty –single-instance (for all subsequent instances). They are now the fastest of all terminal emulators with similar functionality
- macOS: Fix rendering of the unicode hyphen (U+2010) character when using a font that does not include a glyph for it (#7525)
- macOS 15: Handle Fn modifier when detecting global shortcuts (#7582)
- Dispatch any clicks waiting for click_interval on key events (#7601)
- kitten run-shell: Automatically add the directory containing the kitten binary to PATH if needed. Controlled via the –inject-self-onto-path option (disc:7668`)
- Wayland: Fix an issue with mouse selections not being stopped when there are multiple OS windows (#7381)
- Splits layout: Fix the move_to_screen_edge action breaking when only a single window is present (#7621)
- Add support for in-band window resize notifications (#7642)
- Allow controlling the easing curves used for visual_bell_duration
- New special rendering for font symbols useful in drawing commit graphs (#7681)
- diff kitten: Add bindings to jump to next and previous file (#7683)
- Wayland GNOME: Fix the font size in the OS Window title bar changing with the size of the text in the window (#7677)
- Wayland GNOME: Fix a small rendering artifact when docking a window at a screen edge or maximizing it (#7701)
- When shell is set to . respect the SHELL environment variable in the environment in which kitty is launched (#7714)
- macOS: Bump the minimum required macOS version to Catalina released five years ago.
- Fix a regression in notify_on_cmd_finish that caused notifications to appear for every command after the first (#7725)
